I'm trying to put together a tool that will help me make work schedules. What is the easiest way to solve the following?
8:00am + 5 hours = 1:00pm
and
5:00pm - 2 hours = 3:00pm
and
5:30pm - :45 = 4:45
and so on.
These can all be done with DateTime.Add(TimeSpan)
since it supports positive and negative timespans.
DateTime original = new DateTime(year, month, day, 8, 0, 0);
DateTime updated = original.Add(new TimeSpan(5,0,0));
DateTime original = new DateTime(year, month, day, 17, 0, 0);
DateTime updated = original.Add(new TimeSpan(-2,0,0));
DateTime original = new DateTime(year, month, day, 17, 30, 0);
DateTime updated = original.Add(new TimeSpan(0,-45,0));
Or you can also use the DateTime.Subtract(TimeSpan)
method analogously.
